0-1, 8.10 ERA, 5 SO
Stripling has gone from a potential swingman to the Game 2 starter as the Blue Jays deal with injuries. The right-hander knows the starter's role well from his time with the Dodgers, though, and he will have a fresh bullpen behind him to help share the load.
RHP
0-0, 2.25 ERA, 5 SO
A two-time Cy Young Award winner during his time with Cleveland, Kluber was limited to one inning last season with the Rangers due to an injury. The right-hander is 3-1 with a 2.25 ERA in four career starts at Yankee Stadium, and he said that he was satisfied with his command and health this spring.

Teheran didn’t earn a seventh Opening Day start after making six with Atlanta, but he came close, dominating the Grapefruit League to not only earn a roster spot but also a front-line role in Detroit’s rotation. His velocity is back to 92 mph with a sharp slider.

The 2013 All-Star is looking to revive his career in Baltimore, having earned a rotation job with a solid spring. Harvey appeared in seven games for the Royals in 2020, and he owns a 5.85 ERA over the past three seasons for four different clubs.
RHP
0-1, 3.60 ERA, 8 SO
The team's No. 7 prospect will fill in for ace Eduardo Rodriguez, who should miss just one start as he opens the season on the injured list. Houck was electric for the Sox in three starts at the end of last season, going 3-0 with a 0.53 ERA. His one start at Fenway was against the Yankees and he fired six solid innings, allowing just one hit.

Minor will make his first appearance in a Royals uniform since 2017, when he had a 2.55 ERA across 77 2/3 innings as a reliever with Kansas City while returning from shoulder surgery. Minor is healthy this year and figures to be a workhorse starter for the Royals.

The Pirates hope to get a lot of innings out of Anderson, whom they signed to a one-year deal. The former Rockie and Giant has plenty of experience in the National League, and he adds another left-handed look beside Steven Brault.
RHP
1-0, 1.50 ERA, 5 SO
Arrieta makes his return to the Cubs after three seasons spent with the Phillies. The righty made five Cactus League starts, turning in a 4.08 ERA with 14 strikeouts and five walks in 17 2/3 innings. He has a 2.29 career ERA at Wrigley.

Morton will be making his first start since signing a one-year, $15 million deal in November. The 37-year-old right-hander debuted for the Braves in 2008 but was traded to the Pirates a year later. His career finally blossomed with the ‘17 World Series champion Astros, and he finished third in balloting for the ‘19 American League Cy Young Award.

Wheeler enjoyed a successful debut season with the Phillies in 2020, pitching more efficiently as he went deeper into games. The club has high hopes for Wheeler, Aaron Nola and Zach Eflin atop their rotation.

The Cardinals' ageless wonder looked in the spring like the frontline starter the club hopes he can be, coming off a 2020 season in which he led St. Louis in starts (10) with a 3.15 ERA. Wainwright's turn vs. the Reds will be a precursor to the home opener.
RHP

With a 3.59 ERA in 10 games (nine starts) last season, Mahle finally established himself after some inconsistent seasons in 2018 and ’19. But he was 0-1 with a 6.39 ERA in three starts against St. Louis. Only one of those games lasted more than three innings.

Burnes went from an 8.82 ERA in a miserable 2019 season to a 2.11 ERA in a brilliant ’20 in which he challenged for the NL ERA title and finished sixth in the NL Cy Young Award balloting, emerging as one of the league’s nastiest starters.

The kid who grew up going to games at Petco Park -- who idolized Jake Peavy and sat behind Mark Kotsay in the outfield -- at long last gets to pitch for the Padres. After a dominant spring, Musgrove makes his debut for his hometown team.
